  This photo was taken on my graduation day, one of the happiest and most emotional moments of my life. It shows my father, my little sister, my mother, and I standing side by side. We rarely take family photos, but that day felt different. My parents, who usually prefer to be behind the camera, suddenly wanted to be in the photo. It was touching to see them smiling proudly in the photo.  What made this photo even more special was the coincidence of our outfits. I wore a red kebaya for graduation, while my parents also chose red outfits. My little sister, who was in the school choir, wore traditional regional attire. None of us realized until then how well the colors matched. When we saw ourselves together, we couldn't stop laughing, as if we had planned it all along. In the photo, my little sister and I each hold a bouquet of flowers, our smiles bright and sincere. My father looks calm yet proud, my mother's eyes are filled with emotion, and my little sister stands beside me,...

1. Classic Poem  “ To My Beloved ” When first I saw thy gentle eyes, The world grew soft, the heavens near; The winds were hush’d, the stars grew wise, And love’s sweet voice was all I’d hear. Thy touch — a calm on restless seas, Thy smile — the dawn on sorrow’s field; If time should steal such charms as these, My heart would still refuse to yield. For though the years may fade and part, And roses lose their tender hue, The truest home of all my heart Will still, forever, dwell in you. 2. Contemporary Poem  “ The Noise Inside ” I don’t talk about it. Not because I forget— but because memory is too loud. A door slams and my chest folds in. Someone laughs too hard, and it sounds like breaking glass. They say time will heals, but some wounds learn to breathe instead of close.

 “Suara dari Sumur Belakang” Di belakang rumah nenek, ada sebuah sumur tua yang selalu ditutup rapat dengan papan kayu dan batu besar. Sejak kecil, Rani sudah dilarang mendekat ke sana. Katanya, sumur itu sudah tidak digunakan lagi sejak sebelum ibunya lahir. Tapi setiap malam, Rani sering mendengar suara seperti seseorang yang memanggil dari arah sumur itu—pelan, serak, dan seperti menahan tangis. “Ran... tolong... airnya dingin sekali...” Awalnya ia pikir hanya halusinasinya sendiri, karena rumah nenek memang berada di pinggir desa, jauh dari rumah lain. Tapi setelah malam ketiga, suara itu makin jelas. Bahkan kadang disertai bunyi cipratan air dan suara kuku yang menggaruk kayu penutup sumur. Ketika ia menceritakan hal itu pada nenek, perempuan tua itu langsung pucat. “Kamu jangan jawab kalau ada yang manggil. Sekali pun. Paham?” katanya dengan nada gemetar. Rani mengangguk, meski di kepalanya muncul banyak pertanyaan. Mengapa harus takut pada suara? Dan kenapa sumur itu masih a...
